The situation remains under control.

Given that the UAVs were downed over the sea and at high altitude, I urge everyone to stay calm and remain in safe places."

Details: Meanwhile, Crimean Telegram channels reported that air defence systems launched missiles from the Omeha Bay area towards Cape Fiolent. "There were two missile launches judging by the flashes."
